Everyday brings us closer, one way or another. We have good days, we have bad days, and we never know how many more days we'll have. Treasure each one, and, in this case, document the especially special ones.

Glow Sticks!

Amelia's godmother has just finished law school and is currently studying for the Great Bar Exam of 2012 - we rarely see her. But when we do...

Things get WILD AND CRAZY COOL.

Now who isn't addicted to Pinterest... I am. She is, too. I know this, because she found this amazing thing to do with the kids in the tub. She splurged at the dollar store ( she has the best dollar store I've ever been to.) and brought hand fulls of glow sticks. Though it took a while for the two of us to crack them all and do the shake-a-shake-a-shake-a thing to them until they flowed and glowed.

It was worth it.

The kids loved it and didn't want to get out.

They twirled them,and spun them, and waved them, and tried to eat them, and, of course hit each other (accidentally, but that doesn't make it any less painful)

The bathroom lights were out, and the only lights were the glow sticks themselves - that should help explain the photos.

Then, after they were pried from the tub...

...Amelia fell asleep with some, still clinging to them as she slept.

Also, we can't be happier for our AJ, she was offered the position of her dreams... Congratulations!!!
